No one has really talked about anything health related on The Innerlayer and everyone at SoftLayer works hard to stay on top of our customer needs. For that reason in this fast paced industry we all have to stay healthy. Here’s a couple of supplements that help me stay healthy and at the top of my game that I take on a daily basis and I feel they should be considered by anyone who reads this.

The first is Fish Oil. This is a cheap supplement that you can buy practically anywhere and this supplement is rich in Omega-3’s which is an Essential Fatty Acid(EFA). Fish Oil contains Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) both of which are beneficial to the brain. Studies have been done that have found it to also reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and also lower body fat. Fish Oil can practically be called a miracle supplement as many people benefit from its supplementation in practically all ailments in life.

The second group is Pro and Pre “biotics”. These can be cheap or can get a little pricey depending on the number of strains and size of the “colony”. I mention both as one as these in most cases are combined. Probiotics are microorganisms that are known as “good bacteria” in that they balance your intestinal tract and colon. What Prebiotics do is stimulate growth for existing “good bacteria”. The most common culture you will find is Lactobacillus Acidophilus which you will usually find in yogurt products. Furthermore, supplementing Pro/Prebiotics is a must especially after taking antibiotics as this is meant to kill all bacteria in your body as well as the “good bacteria” in your intestinal tract.

Though both of these certainly aren’t a cure all they definitely are supplements that keep your body and mind in check. I can’t recommend any supplement over these two alone and if you haven’t heard of either of these I invite you to do some research on them as the results will astound you.
